These symmetrical socks use biased fabric courtesy of a chevron stitch pattern to create a cozy fit. This stitch pattern plays well with all types of yarn—solid, semisolid, variegated, or self-striping—and has just enough interest to elevate it from a plain-vanilla sock. For most people, a 100 g skein of sock yarn will be enough to complete a pair. Those with very wide and/or very long feet, however, may need more than 100 g. The chevron stitch pattern creates a biased fabric with less stretch than stockinette, so choose a size to knit corresponding to your (or your recipient's) foot circumference rather than the stitch count. To knit this pattern, you need to know how to: * work small circumferences in the round, * work in knit and purl flat and in the round, * work a centered double decrease, * pick up stitches along an edge, * work basic decreases (k2tog, ssk, p2tog), and * graft live stitches. Notions needed: * one stitch marker * yarn needle Tech editing by [cmyehknits](/people/cmyehknits)
